scarlet and blue ground, respectively. Be- tween these triangles are the words, embla- nautical of justice, and the arrow, reminding of the covenant between Jonathan and David. Over the apexes of the triangles lies the open Bible, an exhaustless fountain of truth from which all our principles are derived, upon the face of which lie three golden links, represent ing the grand motto of our order, Friendship, Love and Truth. Surmounting the whole is the skull and cross bones, reminding us of the consuming process of nature, and that we are to give decent sepulcher to the mortal re- mains of 8 deceased brother. Upon the ad- verse side is the All-seeing eye enveloped in a blaze of light and glory reminding us that the scrutinizing eye of Omnipotence is ever upon us. Also the inscription: Union Degree Staff to 0. H. Pufer, September, 18S7.'
